Abstract

The relaxation of the intrinsic stresses in the diamond films fabricated by the hot filament CVD was studied, and it was confirmed that the tensile intrinsic stresses in the films could be controlled without any degradation in the quality of the diamond films. The tensile intrinsic stresses in the films decreased from 2.97 to 1.42 GPa when the substrate thickness increased from 1 to 10mm. This result showed that the residual stress was affected by the substrate thickness as well as by the interaction between grains. Applying of +50 V between the W filament and the Si substrate during deposition, the tensile intrinsic stress in the film deposited at 0 V was decreased from 2.40 GPa to 0.71 GPa. Such large decrease in the tensile intrinsic stress was due to $\beta$-SiC which acted as a buffer layer for the stress relaxation. However, the application of the large voltage above +200V resulted in the change of quality of the diamond film, and nearly had no effect on relaxation in the tensile intrinsic stress.
